ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Deborah Rogers is my supervisor, my friend, and the reason I am where I am today. I want to be like her when I grow up. I am thankful to her, not only for guiding me through my degree, but for being the superb teacher and mentor she is. Because of her, I am well educated and well prepared for the classroom. After Deborah, my husband George and my sons, Christian and Oliver, put up with my physical presence and mental absences for five long years and never complained. They, too, supported me and encouraged me. The fruition of this dissertation involved many, but Naomi Jacobs worked incredibly hard to make my thesis presentable, Nancy MacKnight worked hard to help me rise to this occasion. Nancy Weitz just knows how to make me write the right things and put my thinking on paper. Her encouragement has been priceless. Ken Norris is my American literature mentor, showing me the connections across the oceans during the eighteenth century and then teaching me to learn with my soul as well as my head. Judy Eyerer was an incredible technical editor. Evelyn Scheck, Lynette Eckersley, Me1 Johnson, Nancy Marks, and Clare Grindal all contributed their time and
intelligence. I must also thank Linne Mooney for encouraging my program and always being my best supporter and Pat Burnes for always being willing to help, a steady friend and spiritual writing guide. Josephine Donovan has been a close mentor and friend, the ultimate teacher of feminist theory. Burt Hatlen and Virginia Nees-Hatlen proved to me everyday why UMO is such a gold mine of talent and grace. Marilyn Emerick kept me honest. I would be remiss if I did not mention Ulrich Wicks, one of the finest professors and friends I have had in my life. I wish that he could be here to see this dissertation, but I know he has been with me during the writing. I find it nearly impossible to express my gratitude to the University of Maine for allowing me to pursue this degree. The Graduate School and the College of Arts and Sciences have enthusiastically supported me. My deepest and sincerest gratitude, however, is to the Department of English. Their patient optimism and support has meant everything to the success of this dissertation.
